Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (optional glaze)
  • 2 tbsp milk or lemon juice (optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in chopped strawberries carefully.
  7. Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round disc.
  8. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden on the edges.
  10. Cool slightly and drizzle with glaze if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
  • Add lemon zest for a fresh citrus flavor.
  • Mix gently to avoid dense or dry scones.
  • Keep butter cold for best texture.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
